This article and study comes from a link that John Chisom provided on their portfolio asset allocation survey. However, this study is on the Santa Claus rally. Some say it begins around Thanksgiving, others the day before Christmas while others think that it comes on the last day of December with all lasting until the 2nd day of trading in the new year. I am of the camp that it starts early form time-to-time and feel that it started around October 15th this year.
And, yes ... whatever the time span you choose to go by ... I have positioned for the benefits that usually come with the fall/winter stock market rally which usually continues on and into and through spring of the following year.
The link for the study is below for those that might be interested.
